Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

Before they could calm down, they immediately saw Ye's face.

When that familiar face, almost untouched by the passage of time, came into view.

The figures that Marius and other elders had gradually forgotten, deep in their memories, suddenly came back to mind.

At this moment, many elders gaped in horror—letting out a silent scream!

That look on his face, as if he'd seen a ghost.

Not to mention the other elders, even Marius, who once worshipped Night as an idol, had a look of horror when he actually saw Night in reality again.

How could this be?!

It was him, it was him!

Just when they were about to regard that era as a dreamlike memory, the man returned.

Suddenly——

The numerous elders present were struck dumb.

"Who agrees with my words? Who disagrees?!" At this moment, they seemed to hear that unbridled, rampant, cold voice proclaiming again, as if the sun god were judging them.

They're about to suffer from PTSD. PTSD, or Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, refers to a delayed and persistent mental disorder that occurs after an individual experiences, witnesses, or is confronted with one or more events involving actual death, threat of death, serious injury, or threat to physical integrity of themselves or others.

Generally speaking, the incidence of PTSD varies, and women are more likely to experience this psychological trauma than men.

But at this moment, almost all the senators who had experienced that dark age, who were like celestial beings in front of other Romans, were like victimized little wives and young girls in front of Ye...

What lingers in my mind are the traumatic memories of humiliation and the wanton trampling of my dignity!

No--!!!!!

At this moment, the elders' eyes were bloodshot, filled with fear and unease mixed with anger and dread. They were even more afraid that a large group of soldiers would suddenly emerge from behind Ye and carry them to the central square!

No, no—! Damn it, how could this man possibly be back!

Countless elders roared in fear, their consciousness almost completely shattered.

Chapter 148 Our Journey is from Rome to Britain

At this moment, the elders present who had personally experienced that dark era all wanted to deceive themselves, telling themselves that the man in front of them was not the one they knew, at least not this young.

Perhaps it really is someone else with the same name?

However—what happened next quickly shattered the elders' wishful thinking and caught them completely off guard.

Of all the elders, perhaps only Lucius Caesar was prepared, and when he saw Night appear, he had no reaction at all.

He was even somewhat surprised as to why those veteran elders had lost their composure.

Did Listaye visit these old guys before?

Although Lucius Caesar was a contemporary of Marius and others, he was most active at the time when he was serving as governor of a foreign colony.

He had only heard rumors about the situation in the capital and didn't know much about it.

Therefore, Lucius Caesar did not have a special reaction when he heard the name Lista. On the contrary, he was more concerned about the connection between Lista and the Julius family, that they were both families of gods.

At this moment, Lucius Caesar stepped forward, cleared his throat, and suddenly spoke, attracting the attention of many elders.

Lucius Caesar suddenly launched into a long and rambling speech, completely confusing the elders who were already in a daze.

But when the truth finally came out, Lucius Caesar revealed his true intentions.

The general idea is that Listaye, as a newly returned noble, should inherit the family's former legacy and honor.

Lista, who was known as "the last hero of Rome," would certainly be better suited to the military.

However, given that the other party had just returned and their military capabilities were not yet fully understood, Lucius Caesar suggested that they could first recruit some troops for him to train, and that the vast legacy of the Lista family also needed someone to protect it.

Suddenly——

The other elders understood that there was a hidden meaning in the words.

What recruitment of an army? Could this recruited army work for Rome? Wouldn't it just be this newcomer's private army?!

Many old noble families kept a large number of private soldiers, but they dared not display them openly.

Once this absurd decree is passed, Listaye could then openly and brazenly raise his own army in Rome.

Talista had nothing but a commoner nobleman, yet Rome was about to give him military power as soon as he joined.

The elders felt that Lucius Caesar must have gone mad.

He himself doesn't even receive this special treatment, yet he's doing this for an outsider.

It's like a company hiring a new employee and then demanding that the boss give up 30% of the company's shares, while also expecting the employee to sit in an air-conditioned room eating barbecue and drinking Longjing tea, with the boss subtly asking if the work environment is comfortable.

Are they the ones who've gone mad, or is Lucius Caesar the one who's gone mad?

Rome does not have this system of private armies to this day.

If the other side succeeds, wouldn't that be like building a miniature Rome inside Rome, a country within a country?

"Even if Lord Lista were alive—" Just as an elder was barely suppressing his anger and preparing to rebuke Lucius Caesar, that lackey, in a stern voice.

Night, who had been calmly watching the show since entering the main hall, finally spoke.

"I also think this suggestion is pretty good."

So—who's in favor, and who's opposed?!

"Sir Strabo Pompeii, why don't you set an example and take the lead?"

Lucius Caesar's outrageous suggestion was naturally something he was asked to do before nightfall.

Although this is illogical and sets a precedent in Roman history, let's just accept that it is reasonable and justifiable.

If the Senate approves unanimously, he will be able to appear in Rome at will with his soldiers, and in any situation where he needs to summon the 43 warriors including Gracchus, he can reasonably add them to his army.

With an army, one can establish a firm foothold in Rome, and then, whether one aspires to become the true hegemon of Rome or even travel to other mythical regions of the world, one can achieve great things.

Countries like Denmark in Northern Europe, as well as neighboring France and the British Isles, are not far from Rome.

Of course, "going to see at night" doesn't mean going there peacefully by yourself for sightseeing or tourism.

Instead, he led his army to conquer that land and become the true world hegemon.

Those lands contain Norse mythology, Celtic mythology, and Christian mythology.

Since he can detect and simulate the Roman universe in Rome, will the next simulation be able to start from other mythologies in other regions as well?

Or should they retreat to become a behind-the-scenes capitalist, secretly controlling everything in Rome and serving their own interests?

Regardless of the choice, having military power under one's command is more tangible than anything else.

Even if one becomes the consul of Rome, one cannot rule unilaterally in Rome.

But if you commanded millions of Roman soldiers, you could have them point their spears at the noses of nobles and make them kneel down and lick your anus—or rather, your toes.

Do you see if they listen to you?

Of course, improving individual strength is also of paramount importance, but that doesn't preclude using power to intimidate others. It would be too low for a true king to have to do everything himself in the future.

Like Alexander the Great next door, who comes out with a legion of Heroic Spirits and his Noble Phantasm. Everyone who sees him can't help but exclaim how mighty the Emperor is!

King Arthur would be speechless upon seeing this, and even the oldest fat man of Babylon would have to shut his foul mouth, sigh in admiration, and use the treasure ea to fight the enemy.

Ye had always intended to build a powerful army of his own in Rome, and after acquiring the abilities of the 43 Warriors, this idea became even stronger.

In the future, it's inevitable that we'll simulate battlefields like the Trojan War.

If he can familiarize himself with leading troops in advance, he can provide assistance to him in the future.

If the feat accomplished is legendary enough, the next time it might not be with 43 heroic spirits, but with an entire legion from the mythical era.

Legions in the mythological era, not to mention distant examples like the 300 Spartans, were not all soldiers of mortal strength; there were also armies composed of pure heroes.

When hundreds or thousands of heroes form an army to attack the enemy, it is not impossible for them to even slay dragons or even kill gods.

Soldiers from the neighboring Qin Dynasty, in their quest to find the elixir of immortality for the First Emperor, sailed out to sea under the leadership of Xu Fu and killed the mythical beast Kun.

Of course—this is the mythology panel; in regular history, it would be a whale.

That is why, even though the night has become very strong, the strength of the army will not be underestimated.

The previous taming of the Spartans, who possessed only a small amount of the bloodline of the great god Zeus, was a preparation for building their own military force in the future.

At the same time, it can also allow the army to collect artifacts and treasures left behind in the epic of the Age of Gods all over the world. Putting aside everything else, Ye is still in dire need of a real divine gun in reality.

Relying solely on the conceptual divine spear for combat is far too inconvenient; the durability of ordinary spears simply cannot withstand the pressure of prolonged battles.

Actually, Ye was quite interested in Longylus, the sword that killed the Christian saint.

If you really can't get it by force, you can go to Britain and seize the Holy Sword beforehand to use it.

If I remember correctly—

Chapter 149 The Gauls and the British Barbarians Have Few Honeymoon Periods

At this time, the British had not yet become as hostile and embroiled in the bitter conflict with the Gauls.

Ironically, the British, whom the later Romans regarded as barbarians, were helping the Gauls invade Rome.

It was also during the time when the young Caesar grew up and became Julius Caesar the Great, and led his army to almost wipe out Gaul, that the British gradually came into the Romans' view.

It was later completely swallowed up by the Roman Empire and became a province.

However, after the division of the Western and Eastern Roman Empires, the Western Roman Empire, due to its inferior strength, had its British territories seized by the Saxons.

The Western Roman emperor simply abandoned his British territory and fled with his remaining forces.

He left behind a message for the British to learn to stand up and defend themselves with weapons, and then shamelessly went on to enrich himself.

Left with no other option, the British began to revive ancestral practices dating back 800 years, establishing hundreds of large and small states on British soil.

This is what gave rise to the distinctive features of the era at the beginning of the Arthurian legend.

It can be said that Britain had already been completely Romanized, but Rome itself abandoned its people and territory.

It's no wonder that the future Sword Emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire wanted to lead his people to reconquer Britain, but the Britons, under King Arthur's leadership, vowed to resist to the death.

It can only be said that the Western Roman Empire made such a mess that it completely lost the hearts and minds of the people in Britain.

Not to mention that the king who ruled Britain in that era was King Arthur, who was known as invincible and the most legendary figure.

It was precisely because of this that the Britons, who had almost become one with the Romans, fought so desperately to the very end.
